this leaves me with separate files, but no .pkg to install via pkg_add, per the instructions in "oss-install.pdf".

So, will installing OSS get me closer to having sound? And if so, where do I go from here?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you're going through Parallels, its likely you're not getting the same HDAudio device as your MacBook. I wonder what kind of device is being emulated by parallels. In VmWare, they emulate the ES1371 SB PCI128. In Qemu they emulate both ES1371 and SB16 ISA. It's unlikely that parallels can emulate a HDaudio device.
